The curve is nasty, but it just makes cruising in your tier X that much sweeter. I put days upon days of playtime into it, and I'm proud of that fact.
That also works for WOT because the grind is spread out over a lot of vehicles over a lot of nations, each with their own characteristics and tech trees. When you upgrade modules on your tank, it operates differently and can bring about a drastic change in your play style for that particular tank.
The customization in Hawken is more cumulative, encouraging you to stack to boost stats. If you drastically change your setup, your vehicle will feel different, but still relatively predictable.
While I can understand the argument against implementing the curve, I think it's comfortable...and I definitely like to get to know my mech before its maxed out. If you're grinding like you should (siege mode, booster), you can level a mech completely in a weekend. I think that's perfect, if not a little short.
